Also, its a bit unorthodox but I have a lot of respect for the Magic: the Gathering card design:

Especially compared to most other trading cards I see on the market they do a very good job of being both aesthetically pleasing and organizing and presenting a lot of information.

Nokia Lumia 800

This is the best looking phone ever. It's just so beautiful.

Great choice. Never have I had such an obvious "that is beautiful!!!!" reaction to phone.

But isn't the N9 still a little nicer? I think on the N9 there are less physical buttons and filler. The bar with 3 windows buttons isn't there for example.

THANK YOU! I cited this other member of the TurboGrafx/PC Engine family as an example of cool design in another thread, and people thought I was crazy.

I was gonna post that but I just love the core system, so clean compact and perfect in design

This is going to be my favorite thread. Ever.

I have been considering making this for over a month now, finally pulled the trigger. Do you like interior design?

Yeah, I finally discovered that this field had an actual name (Industrial Design) a few months ago. I'd always been intending to do design work like this with my mechanical engineering degree, so I've been working to play up product design in my curriculum, including adding a minor in Design and considering going to grad school for Industrial Design specifically

I think the wp7 interface adds to the design more than MeeGo does.

This. Take that Orange Box abomination off of the OP. The games were absolutely awesome, but the packaging? Awful.

Eh, in pictures the WP7 interface always pushes the sexiness of the phone itself down a notch. It's just not good looking imho.

The visual appeal from WP7 comes from the animations and fluidness of the UI, something you only experience in real life.

So, at least when it comes to pictures of the phones, I disagree with you.

Currently typing from this. Most beautiful laptop ever, even better than the Air IMO. And it's more functional than anything else out there. Apple hit a home run with this design.

Motorola StarTAC This phone was way ahead of it's time. Mind blowing when I first saw it.

Nokia 8110 - Yep, the phone in the original Matrix. Mind blowing.

Super Famicom. Loved it. The US version (SNES) was definitely inferior.

The PSOne. Again, mind was blown when Sony announced this. It started the tradition of upgrading and miniaturizing consoles. A trend that continues today.

Actually, a lot of Sony's stuff is legendary. Even Steve Jobs and his goto designer Jonathan Ive was a big fan of classy Sony:

Amiga 1000 baby.

These are pretty awesome simply due to the illusion the black bubble gives off. It makes you think that the whole black segment is the screen, giving it a slick futuristic in-line feel, even though it's only imbedded.

Sticks are perfect, as long as you don't have to use them at the same time as the back pad often, which none of the games require anyway.
